I'm pooped!!!

First coat of primer...I like just one coat with the woodbleeding through ever so slightly...hmmmm...Yup, the door is white, it wasn't the original finish,so I had no guilt painting it,as a matter of fact, I painted it thegreen and gray, white suits my vision better.

LOVE the inside...My brother came down yesterday with his sprayerand we got the inside almost totally finished,'cept for a few beams that have to be painted and justtouched up here and there.

The floor is battleship gray, a good dirt hider,though dirt doesn't hide at the Chateau...it's calledANTIQUITY!!!I actually love the look of little cobwebsin the corners of a window attached to anold flower pot or book...it tells me of a little life that just passed by...

See what I mean about the bleed...do I dare leave itor paint on that second coat...but doesn't it look cool with the old doorsn winders...?!OLD...

What a charming little place. I am personally getting sick of wielding a paintbrush...seems to be one of those never ending tasks. Like I've been chinking the inside of our cabin for the past 4 years...Now I just do it when the spirit moves me. Hasn't moved me lately. ha!Have a good week ahead! x-Cassieinamazinggraceland.blogspot.com

The Wild Thing

About Me

The Sweet Repose of a 66 year old on a quest for the simple life. My home is my studio of life, my pink shack and six acres of paradise to me and my dog Scratchy. I'm a former taxidermist, a watercolorist, a dog groomer, a gardener, an antique dealer,a single free spirit and an entrepreneur of addictions that feed my soul and my art...my heart writes what it sees and my blog shares it with you...and yes, I'm a dreamer...!

free spirit

At this stage of the game, you just can't take anything too serious, it's about life and art and the drive to make it all happen, the humility to keep it in perspective...And a great punch line...S.Wilson
